Lyrics

Verse 1
Woke up with a little more in my pocket
Two good weeks, feeling like nothing can stop this
Headlights on a dark street, flat tire in the rain
Phone rings, old debt, same old chain
The world says don’t change, boy, you’ll be fine
But lightning finds the high road every time
I thought it was me, thought it was bad luck
But patterns whisper, pressure’s all the same
They build the doors, then they keep you stuck
They turn the tide when you try to change

Chorus
We woke up, eyes open to the morning
We woke up, the veil is lifting slowly
We woke up, there’s a fire in the quiet
We woke up, and hope is coming like a tide
We woke up, oh-oh
We woke up, oh-oh

Verse 2
They own the feed, they own the shelf and dollars
Keep the seeds, the wheat, the truth behind the collars
You work the nights, you push, you plan, you grind
Then a broken wire steals your time
Still, somebody burns the oil in the dark
Somebody’s whisper turns to a spark

Pre-Chorus
Most slow down when the world starts to shove
Most go home where the couch remembers them
But some keep running, stubborn as a glove
Hold the line, let the momentum find them

Bridge
It’s not a checklist and it ain’t a job, it’s a frequency
You gotta breathe the grit, stay the course, meet the enemy
When the wheel spins out, when the lights go dim
That’s the moment you learn if you’re built to win

Build-Up
So push harder, push past the fear
Push harder, and we’ll meet you there

Final Chorus
We woke up, eyes open to the morning
We woke up, the veil is lifting slowly
We woke up, there’s a fire in the quiet
We woke up, and hope is coming like a tide
Wake the world, wake the world, let it run
Wake the world, wake the world, we are one

Outro
When we wake, the small things stop controlling us
